SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Foodsaver
™
System
Why Vacuum Package?
Exposure to air causes food to lose nutrition and flavour, and also
causes freezer burn and enables many bacteria, mould and yeast to
grow. The Foodsaver
™
vacuum packaging system removes air and
seals in flavour and quality. With a full line of Foodsaver
™
bags, and
canisters to expand your options, you can now enjoy the benefits of a
scientifically proven food storage method that keeps food fresh up to
five times longer.
The Foodsaver
™
System Saves Time and Money.
• Spend less money. With the Foodsaver
™
system, you can buy
in bulk or buy on sale and vacuum package your food in desired
portions without wasting food.
• Save more time. Cook ahead for the week, preparing meals and
saving them in Foodsaver
™
bags.
• Marinate in minutes. Vacuum packaging opens up the pores
of food so you can get that great marinated flavour in just 20
minutes instead of overnight.
• Make entertaining easy. Make your signature dish and holiday
treats in advance so you can spend quality time with your guests.
• Enjoy seasonal or specialty foods. Keep highly perishable or
infrequently used items fresh longer.
• Control portions for dieting. Vacuum package sensible portions
and write calories and/or fat grams on the bag.
• Protect non-food items. Keep camping and boating supplies
dry and organised for outings. Protect polished silver from
tarnishing by minimising exposure to air.
